I had Flipped. -Bryce Loski

Proper lighting is everything, Julianna.

I had liked him for all the wrong reasons.

Was it so much to ask just to be left alone?

What he did to my heart was sheer, inexplicable, magic.

Blue Face Disgusting taste Flush it Shush it Cold disgrace

It’s funny to hear priests and nuns argue with each other.

Turn down a chance to feel magic for fear of a little dirt?

I was slipping, man, and it was definetly time to get a grip.

I've run my whole life - for more than exercise, for mental health.

Okay that’s it. Now I’m torching this. I just need to score a match.

I just need some time to get over all those years of having liked him

There's nothing like a headstrong woman to make you happy to be alive.

What I'm expecting is for you to behave like the gentleman I always thought you were.

Sometimes the things we really want are right in front of us. We just don't see them.

Sometimes I get so caught up in my own problems that I forget how amazing the world is.

Somehow the silence seemed to connect us in a way like words never could. - Julianna Baker

Sometimes a little discomfort in the beginning can save a whole lot of pain down the road.

Get beyond his eyes and his smile and the sheen of his hair - look at what's really there.

If chaos is a necessary step in the organization of one's universe, then I was well on my way.

But in my heart I knew that just like the new grass, I wasn't strong enough yet to be walked on

I am a runner. That's what I do. That's who I am. Running is all I know, or want, or care about.

I wipe away my tears and nod, because the pain in my leg is nothing compare to the one in my heart.

...Next time you're faced with a choice, do the right thing. It hurts everyone less in the long run.

You can't dwell on what might have been...and it's not fair to condemn him for something he hasn't done.

I'll ride my bike all the stinkin' way to school for the rest of eternity if it means being with her. -Bryce

To by held above the earth and be brushed by the wind," she said,"it's like your heart has been kissed by beauty.

It's disturbing how fast weeds take root in my garden of worthiness. They're so hard to pull. And grow back so easily.
